KEARNEY â Today, 14 months after they went online, the solar panels feeding energy to Joe and Tara Johnsonâs home northeast of Kearney are producing the numbers the couple expected when they invested $20,000 in October 2019 installing them.
The panels donât always eliminate their monthly electricity bills, but they are carving off a substantial portion of the bills, just as Joe had hoped.
On a bright sunny day his panels can churn out energy that offsets much of his energy costs. Johnson said he didnât expect the panels would eliminate his bills entirely because, with three sons at home, the Johnson family consumes a lot of power. However, in a few years, when Tara and Joe become empty nesters, he believes theyâll rarely owe an electricity bill.
